The "cannot read swaplist: kvm_read: Bad address" bug is easy to
reproduce on some of my systems by running a pipe benchmark program
that copies about 1/2*sizeof(swap).  This leaves parts of /dev/kmem
containing some of the swap list unreadable.  Apparently /dev/kmem is
being swapped!  The check added in rev.1.13 of mem.c fails.
